Raditz growled another day in this hellhole was not his idea of fun. He just wanted to go home, but he couldn't. Not until that moment when he saw Zera leave Onna's body. He was already planning out scenario after scenario, but until the moment was upon him there wasn't much he could do. He didn't know Zera's exact plan of action, so he was left in the dark for most of it.
She did seem friendlier after his altercation with Cold, but he still didn't tell her that it was him. The last thing he needed was for Cold to come back. He could easily kill Cold in the same manner that he tortured Frieza, but that would not end well for anyone. He would be severely punished and that would get him nowhere.
She wasn't in at the moment, something that he was grateful for. Just about every time she was here, he gave into his desires. He just couldn't stop himself. The fact that he was seeing the person that he truly wished to mate with was enough to drive him mad. He still didn't know how he kept himself from biting her. His instincts had to know that the smell wasn't right. It didn't match his chosen mate at all, so that had to be it.
It was puzzling though. His mind wanted answers and for once, he was left with nothing. It wasn't like he could run tests on the idea. That would mean that he was looking forward to her visits and that was the farthest thing from his mind.
Now if it were truly Onna, it would be a much different story. He could definitely go for that all night and all day if he had to. Not that he had to. It would be more that he wanted to.
The door cracked open for a couple of seconds and he heard someone talking out in the hallway. He crept closer and heard Cooler as he passed. "She'll come over. I'm not letting her leave. She will love me."
Raditz wondered who Cooler was even talking about. The only female to his knowledge that was on the ship was Zera, and Cooler couldn't be talking about her. There had to be someone else.
"Do you think that Queen Gure will forget about that monkey?" A soldier said next to the Frostian Prince.
Gure was here. When was she brought here? And why was Cooler so taken with her? He really didn't like the sound of this. If Gure was here, then Tarble had to be a mess. He wished that there was something he could do.
Raditz looked over at the lock and almost smirked. Why hadn't he looked at it before? It was really just a basic design. All he needed was time. He would find a way to get Gure out of here. He had to at least try. If she was able to leave, then she could give Vegeta his location.
He pulled back from the door as a new plan came to him. It would take some time. He would have to craft something in secret. But it was the only way. He cursed. He didn't like the idea of leaving Gure alone with Cooler for that long, but he had no choice. He just hoped that Tarble forgave him for taking so long.
Gure paced in front of the door to the private room she had in Cooler's quarters. She didn't want to do anything. She wanted to just stay locked in this room and try not to leave until Tarble came for her.
But that wasn't an option. Cooler wanted her to come out for some elaborate thing he had planned. Whatever it was, she wasn't too excited about it. The only thing she wanted was a pod and that wasn't going to happen.
Another thing that sucked was that her room had no locks. At any time, Cooler could just pop himself in here and she wouldn't be the wiser.
But it looked like he was being somewhat polite, for someone that was holding her against her will. He knocked on her door and asked her to come out, but she refused. She wasn't going to fall for his game. It was better for him to be angry with her than for him to be in love with her.
After his third time at knocking, he just went ahead and opened the door. He had on some armor, but she kept her distance. She didn't expect him to keep looking between her and the bed. It was probably a good idea to get out of this room.
She pushed out of the room and he only smirked as she walked into the hall. "I knew that you would change your mind."
Gure only glared at him. "You really think I want to spend time with a man that is holding me here against my will?"
Cooler only grinned. "Only give it time. "You'll start to feel something for me."
Gure rolled her eyes. She couldn't imagine feeling anything more than hatred and disgust for Cooler. "Let's get this over with."
Cooler grabbed a hold of her arm and she flinched away. She had not given him permission to touch her. But he wasn't paying attention to that. He only held onto her tighter and she couldn't move away. Her arm was going to bruise from the pressure, but she could handle it.
She was pulled into the massive dining room. She had to wonder, did any of the frostian royals even eat together? She had never seen them together and she expected all of them to have rooms just as big, if not bigger than this. This just looked like a waste of space.
"Is it too your liking?" Cooler asked.
"Why do you need this much space for eating?" She scoffed.
He frowned. "It's a sign of my power."
"It looks like your compensating for something else." She said, unimpressed with him. If he was trying to use something like this to woo her, he wasn't going to get very far. Besides, she was already taken. The only man to truly woo her had been a 9-year-old saiyan prince back when she was 8. Since then no man could or ever would compare.
Cooler scowled. "Why don't we just eat then?" He said pulling out a seat for her.
Gure sighed then made to sit. She still didn't like that he kept trying to touch her. She waited as he sat next to her. With a table like this, she would have expected him to sit across from her, but no. He must have wanted to keep her in his sight. She said nothing. She didn't want to give him the pleasure.
Food was brought forward and they ate in silence. That was until Cooler's hand began to trail down her leg. She froze and made to glare at him. He was smirking, thinking that he had won because he had caught her attention.
She made to smack him again, but he caught her hand. "You really think that I would allow you to strike me again?"
His hand squeezed hard on hers and if he pushed any harder, he was going to break it. "Let go of me!"
Cooler smirked as he pulled her close to him. "Never."
Fear began to do up and down her spine. She tried to get away from him, but he wasn't going to allow that. She was pulled into one of his kisses and she forced herself to go limp as his lips moved against hers. She felt sick to her stomach as his hands made to grope her ass. She could feel tears pricking at her eyes as he pulled away from her. "You're mine. Why not just give into what I need?"
"I'll never be yours!" She snapped.
Cooler only grinned. "It's too late. You already belong to me."
She tried to struggle against him as he stood and threw her over his shoulder. "Stop!"
Cooler only laughed as he walked by her room and towards his. She twisted her body around, but it was to no avail.
The door opened and she was tossed on the bed. She heard the door lock and she began to panic. He was going to have his way with her and she wasn't going to be able to stop him.
He jumped up onto the bed and made to pin her, all while she was struggling against him. He only smirked down at her. "There is nowhere to run, why fight it?"
She was fully in tears as he stared down at her. "It's wrong."
He licked the side of her face, tasting her tears. "It's only wrong because you think it is. Once you let go of that monkey, you'll realize what a prize I am."
She shook her head, but he pushed her down into a kiss again. She pushed his chest trying to get him off of her. She wanted to scream but couldn't as he pushed himself onto her.
She wanted to throw up as his hands slid down her body and near places that she only wished for Tarble to touch. Her head flew back as he touched that forbidden place. He only chuckled. "See, you already want my touch, just give me everything."
"No!" She cried out not wanting him anywhere near her. She hated her body right now. It was reacting without her permission.
She was trying to prepare her mind for what was about to happen, when she was flipped onto her side. Cooler chuckled into her ear. "Not tonight. I only wished to give you a taste." His arm came around her, so she knew that she couldn't leave. She was stuck here with him. "Remember Gure, you belong to me."
She shook in his arms. It may not happen today, but that day was coming. She just hoped that she found a way out of here soon.
Bulma almost giggled at Vegeta as he looked over some code. "Do you want me to help?"
"How does anyone read this stuff?" Vegeta growled.
"It's not so hard. Tarble explained it to me once. His system's pretty complex, but once you learn it, it's hard to forget it." Bulma said, pushing him over so she could take the screen away from him.
"Just see if you can find out any information on that Zunn character." Vegeta said, crossing his arms over his chest.
Bulma began to type frantically. As she looked up the saiyan's name and she smiled as she got her first hit. "It turns out that he was off of Planet Vegeta for some time. He returned here about a year ago."
Vegeta smirked. "Where was he before that?"
Bulma frowned. "According to this, he was working out on Planet Tech-Tech. He was sent back because of poor work performance."
Vegeta growled. "So if he was on Tech-Tech, he could have easily run into Yogut."
"Exactly." Bulma said, pulling up a couple of files. "He was clocked in the day that Kakarot left and was the one that ended up giving him that ship." Bulma said.
"So he probably put in Cuw's name to cover his tracks." Vegeta said.
"Not only that, but his name is on more than one ship of interest." Bulma answered.
"Who else got one of his ships?" Vegeta inquired.
"Both Chichi and Raditz received a pod from him." Bulma stated.
Vegeta growled. "So he planned to have Kakarot run after Chichi."
"He must have discovered that I would want Kakarot to go after Chichi. I just don't know where he could have gotten that information from." Bulma said, trying to pull more files up. "His entire family died in the war against King Vegeta."
"So we have a motive. He must have sided with my father and I just never got to him." Vegeta snapped.
"No, according to this, his family was fourth class. They fought with us. I'm guessing his motivation was Bardock and Gine's resurrection. He felt that his family must not have been good enough and he's punishing the two of them." Bulma said.
Vegeta growled. "Why do you say that? He's punishing the entire saiyan race by putting us in danger."
"But two of his main targets are Bardock and Gine's children. If any two people are going to be affected by this, it would be them." Bulma said.
"Then what about Planet Tech-Tech?" Vegeta asked.
Bulma grinned. "They sent him home, remember. He wasn't good enough. He probably thought that they deserved to die. It would teach them a lesson."
Vegeta smirked at his mate. "You know, you're really smart for a human."
Bulma glared at him. "If I remember correctly, that's what you liked about me in the first place."
Vegeta continued to smirk. "So now I get to go and blast him." He made to leave, but she grabbed his arm.
"Vegeta, we can't act now. Our evidence is only circumstantial; we need finite proof that Zunn is behind this." She stated.
"But we have those files." He made to argue.
"Yes, we do, but don't you want to catch him in the act?" She said.
Vegeta froze then smirked. "The idea of watching him flail around does excite me."
Bulma giggled. "Then why don't you take out some of that excitement on me?"
Vegeta grinned. "So that's your game. You know that we aren't having one yet."
Bulma smiled. "Kakarot is returning with Chichi."
"That doesn't mean that they're together." Vegeta stated.
Bulma giggled. "No, but I can dream can't I?" She leaned into him and kissed him. "Trust me. I'm still on that pill."
Vegeta smirked again. "That's what I wanted to hear."

Poor Gure, Cooler is really being an asshole. Hopefully, Raditz can figure out how to save her before anything horrible happens.
